Ingredients for Ham and Pineapple Sliders

So this recipe is great for leftover ham or if you are a blowout summer BBQ and need to feed a crowd. If you are looking for some whole ham recipes, here is our Grilled Ham recipe, as well as our Double Smoked Ham recipe. We made these sliders using the leftover from our grilled ham recipe. Beyond the ham, here are the other ingredients you are going to need:

  • For simplicity I used canned pineapple slices. They are a little bit smaller than a full pineapple and fit great on the slider buns.
  • Hawaiian rolls
  • Brown sugar
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese. You can either buy the shredded cheese, or a block and shred yourself.
  • Butter
  • Garlic powder

With the the simple set of ingredients laid out, let’s start making these lip smacking good sliders.

Making Ham Pineapple Sliders

Your ingredients should be together and ready to start preparing the ham and pineapple sliders. Before going any further, start off by firing up the grill. This is a pretty quick cook on the grill so I used my gas grill for this recipe. If you want to fire up the charcoal grill you can do that, nothing will change in the way you prepare this recipe. We are going to start off using direct heat but later on switch over to indirect heat. We are going to be looking for an ambient temperature of 325°.

If you need to check ambient temps and don’t trust the grill trying using the ThermoPro TP20.

The first thing we are going to do it is take our pineapple slices, remove them from the can and coat them with some brown sugar. You can just do one side with the brown sugar, if you are really looking to sweeten this recipe up, you can do both sides but I have not found it necessary. After coating the slices of pineapple with the brown sugar, you can place them on the grill, over direct heat.

You will want to grill them for about 5 minutes on each side or until you are happy with the char and grill marks on each side. Too long and they will get dried out but coming from the can, these should hold up well, having been in the pineapple juice. As soon as you are good with the pineapple slices, pull them and set them to the side, we are going to start with the sliders. Be sure to leave the grill on, we are going to put the sliders back in there before serving.

With the pineapple complete, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half and put the tops off to the side. Start by layering on the pineapple, then some of the grilled ham, top it off with some shredded mozzarella cheese. While you are doing this, you can melt the butter, add in some garlic powder. After the butter is melted, but the slider tops back on and brush them with some butter.

After brushing the butter, if not already on a sheet pan, transfer onto one. You are going to pop these sliders back on the grill for about ten minutes or until you see the cheese melted and the tops of the sliders start to brown just a bit. As soon as you see both of those there, pull them. You may need to let them cool for a bit but only for a couple of minutes and get them in the hands of your family guests.
